You must be confusing us with another board.

There are several community members on GWW who have been and, who are, very vocal about content theives, myself included and im not even a producer.

Theft is theft, no matter how you try to wrap it up or condone it.

Interesting that my original post is no longer present on the board but this one is - and really thats enough ~~ you can clearly see the passive attitude about the entire situation-
I guess my point is this really, how can site operators look the other way in one situation and not kill trades and blacklist known stolen content and then in another one of the same - raise hell about how wrong it is, does making 200k a year make a difference ?

You did not exactly take a firm position on this other situation Lee and in fact you really did look the other way - I also emailed you about that and asked you to make a post asking the gay niche webmasters to blackist that content and delete trades with the webmasters owner you neither answered nor did you act ....

I am not placing blame I just find it offensive that people of such high stature can use their power to act only when it benefits them and it wasnt just you.

You cannot tell me other webmasters didnt know this content too was stolen because they did and ignored it as the content quality and posts were so frequent it was some of the highest clicked content on all 14 of my sites .

Having said all that - I also bring to the table topbucks who was questioned about these two webmasters LAST YEAR by me personally by icq and email - I presented the content and the topbucks ref id to them and asked how they could use this content to promote topbucks when the content wasnt even in their banks of material after the surfer signed up.

Topbucks response: Ignored by email
Topbucks response: By icq a topbucks support person" I totally agree with you and I asked my boss about it, I'll let you know thanks"

So...... Topbucks ignored it too when the cause suited their profit margins as did the largest gay mgp sites around all of them !!

Till one webmaster came forward whos well known and he raised hell........

Right - Wrong whos to say but I sure see the signs of keep your mouth shut if it will affect your bottom line written on the wall
